Hi all,

was up at 3 sisters raceway on saturday happily enjoying the racing. Mk2 escorts,Astras,Novas etc....

I dont know if any one has ever seen this car before and i wish i had a camera. It didnt compete on the day, it just sat in the pit area.


The car : a white ford focus - plain as hell except for the mad vent in the bonnet and a few stickers.

The engine : Subaru impreza engine mounted really far back and low down looking pretty standard. It also had all Subaru running gear and wheels!!!!!!

Couldnt belive it, all the hassle to create a car that is in effect a scooby. But as my mates said "it's different" i guess they have a point. But i could see alot of money would have been wasted on this project, when the same amount of cash could have been spent on a really nice scoob. But what he has is definatly unique!

oh yeah and it had the top part of a scooby dash (late style p1 etc)

and the steering wheel plastic cowl and indicator stalks...

mad eh....!!!!

Maybe Ford have seen the light, dumped that silly diff and redesigned the RS Focus.

lol, it was mad as cheese!!! i cant understand why this guy went to all the effort to create a car which would i guess drive similar to an impreza, since it was made mainly of impreza parts, when he could have just spent it all on a decent scooby. (a car with far better looks)

Bob you should have looked further, it even had the under-bonnet fuse holder from the scooby!!! he had the top half of the dash but the rest of the interiour was stripped out. just seats n cage etc. but i cant understand the reason to throw away the focus dash...i think it's one of the best parts of a focus really. certainatly a better idea than using half a scooby dash!!!

i wonder what posesed him to do such a thing.

all in all a good day though, hard luck to the mk2 escort that clipped the tyres and ended up on his roof!!!!

i loved the vauxhall 2ltr powered rear drive 306 that thing was insane.

Car of the day : the blue rear drive mk5 escort with again 2ltr vauxhall power.

sideways all day!!!!!
